Texas Standard for December 1, 2016
A parting holiday gift from the President: A pardon for immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Could it actually happen?

Plus: Why we shouldn’t forget the unsung heroes of the Internet – most likely living in your bedroom closet. All that and much more, today on the Texas Standard:
